Reger Funeral Home & Cremation Services

Reger Funeral Home & Cremation Services Reger Funeral Home and Cremation Services The Reger Funeral Home was founded in 1903 in Martins Ferry, Ohio by Henry Reger (1881-1968). Henry’s son, James H.

During his years as a funeral director, he was also the coroner of Belmont Counts, Ohio. After serving the people of Martins Ferry for 10 years he decided to move to Spencer, West Virginia where he practiced as a licensed funeral director. In 1924 the decision was made to come to Huntington, West Virginia where Henry established the Reger Funeral Home on Jefferson Avenue. Two years later, a move w

as made to the current location of Adams Avenue. Reger (1903-1986) became licensed a year after the move to Adams Avenue, in 1927. Thus, James became the second generation of Reger’s to serve the people of Huntington. The two quickly established ties to the community and continued to improve the funeral home. In 1948 the Reger’s decided to build a 250 seat chapel that still stands today, improving the quality of service offered to their families. The third generation of funeral directors was established when George E. Reger (1932-1999) attained his funeral directing license in 1957. George served as the President of the West Virginia Funeral Directors Association in 1986 and was named “Funeral Director of the Year” by the West Virginia Funeral Directors Association in 1995. In 1987 the fourth generation of Reger’s began when Patrick J. Reger became licensed. Patrick followed in his father George’s footsteps by serving as the president of the West Virginia Funeral Directors Association in 1996. Starting in 1999 George Michael Reger became a licensed funeral director and joins his brother Patrick on the staff of the Reger Funeral Home. The Reger’s have always enjoyed serving the community in many different ways. Beginning with Henry and continuing down the line of succession they have donated vehicles to the local emergency services and police department. Their community involvement continued in 1998 when the members of the funeral home dedicated a memorial park for veterans, which is located adjacent to the funeral home. Throughout the intervening years, we have made many improvements to the park, in honor of our community's veterans. The oldest family owned and operated funeral home in the Tri-State area, The Reger family still own and operate the funeral home for over four generations.

Robert "Rob" Dale May

Robert “Rob” Dale May, 58, of Huntington, WV peacefully passed from this life at his home on Saturday, August 15, 2026. Rob was a stubborn, loving, short-tempered, and extremely kind-hearted man. He was the go-to mechanic, handyman, and workhorse for anyone and everyone. If you knew him, you know he wouldn’t accept a penny for his help, but maybe he’d take a bottle of Pepsi and a long conversation about everything and nothing. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Allison Ann May, and his parents David & Juanita May. He is missed by his wife, his beloved “Baby Doll” of 32 years, Brenda May, his sons, Bobby & Jared (Beth) May, his true pride and joy- his grandchildren, his “Little Buddy” Perry and his “Princess” Annie May, his siblings Pam May, Davey (Helen) May, Russell (Jenny) May, and Tom May, a special cousin Gary (Christy) Scarberry, and a host of deeply loved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. Rob absolutely loved children and never allowed a child to go without. In lieu of flowers, Rob’s family would like for you to make sure the kids in your family, community, and local schools are taken care of. Rob would want you to make sure they are fed, clothed, safe, and have all they need. Additionally, donations to the Ceredo Volunteer Fire Department, where Rob volunteered to help the community for many years, would be appreciated. The family will receive visitors from 1:00-3:00pm on Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at Reger Funeral Home in Huntington. A family graveside service will follow.

Robert "Bob" Lee Carrico

Robert “Bob” Lee Carrico, 91, of Huntington (Westmoreland), West Virginia, passed away peacefully at home on August 7, 2026.

Born June 13, 1935, Bob devoted his life to service—to his country, his state, his family, and his community. He served nearly 40 years in the West Virginia Army National Guard, retiring as a Command Sergeant Major. He also served for 32 years with the City of Huntington Fire Department, retiring as a Captain. Through both careers, Bob earned the respect of those he served alongside and those he served.

Bob was preceded in death by his beloved wife and devoted partner, Ann; his parents, Ethel and Herman Carrico; his sister, Doris Ann Carrico; and his brothers, Jack, Jerry, and Richard Carrico.

He is survived by his daughters, Angela (James) Fain and Charlotte (David) Lawman; grandchildren Eric Fain, Erin (Reinaldo) Swift, Elizabeth Allen, Lara (Bryan) England, Ellen (J.K.) Fallin, Jayne Lawman, and Mary Lawman; great-grandchildren Kaine Allen, Angie Swift,Alex Swift, Amelia Swift, Robert James Mura, Caroline England, Carter England, Everett Fallin, Rowen Fallin, Finleigh Fallin, and Kahlani Lawman; his brother, Fred “Scooter” Carrico, and numerous nieces and nephews.

He appreciated the support of his close friend Roger Mitchell and caregivers – especially in the final years of his life.

Above all, Bob wished to be remembered not for his accomplishments or titles, but for his gratitude for God’s forgiveness and grace. He asked that those words be remembered by all who knew and loved him—and wished that same forgiveness and grace for those he leaves behind.

His life was one of service, devotion, humility, and faith. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.

Funeral services will be conducted at 6:00 PM Sunday, August 16, 2026 at the Reger Funeral Chapel, Huntington, by Pastor Steve Ross and Pastor Bob McGlone.

Vernon Junior Casey

Vernon “Junior” Casey of Lavalette, WV went to be with his Lord and Savior, July 30th, 2026, at St. Mary’s Medical Center surrounded by his loving wife of 62 years and his beloved children.

Junior was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to so many too numerous to count; and a patriot serving with the U.S. Marine Corps. But above all, he was a faithful and obedient servant of Christ; a truly humble man who loved the Lord. For over 48 years and nearly 375 churches, Junior shared the love of God through song by playing his guitar, harmonica and singing with The Casey Family. He also spent hours everyday studying his bible and commentaries to prove himself worthy to be a Sunday School teacher for over 30 years.

Waiting to meet him in Heaven is his loving wife, Alice; his three children, Craig (Lisa), Bruce (Anndrea) and Angel (Eddie); and, his loving brother, Harvey. He was the beloved Pa, Pa-Paw and Pops to Jarrod, Justin, Gabriel, Elijah, Tristan, Emma, Robert, Montana, C.J., Shannon, Casey and Caleb; and prided himself as being “Pa-Paw the Terrible” with his playful games. He also enjoyed the title of Great-Grandpa to his beloved grandchildren’s babies.

Junior was a true family man, simple and honest. Adored by his family, in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Always a man with a smile and a twinkle in his eye.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to two very special family members who sacrificed their time to be with the family during his short illness, Greg and Marcia Weaver; and, to the Neuro Trauma and NTICU staff at St. Mary’s Hospital for their unwavering care and support.

His Homecoming will be held on Wednesday, August 5th at 3:00 p.m. at Reger Funeral Chapel, Huntington, WV. Burial will follow at Mays Chapel Cemetery, Mays Branch Road, Lavalette, WV.

Visitation will be held Tuesday, August 4th from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Reger Funeral Home, Huntington, WV.
